Design of a child's room: safe and functional design

To take into account all children's needs and interests inone room, requires adult efforts. How to make a children's room not only beautiful, but also comfortable for the owner? We have collected examples of the most functional rooms and asked an expert for advice

Playroom, classroom and bedroom - children's room,like a magic hat, it must be capable of any transformation. No function can be sacrificed in favor of another. And you also need to provide storage space. And don't forget about the little person who already has his own interests and needs... Some people need an easel, some need a piano, some need a horizontal bar...

It's good if there is an opportunity to take out the bedroomzone into a separate room. And if not? Most of us have very limited footage of the "children's kingdom". How to turn your child's room into a multifunctional, but cozy world that he will remember with joy and nostalgia in his adult life? For advice, we turned to an expert in creating children's interiors, designer Oksana Panfilova. Over the past few years, she and her colleague Lyudmila Kristaleva have managed to create a whole gallery of wonderful children's rooms, none of which are like the other. Oksana Panfilova, interior designer: - The most important thing is the organization of the space. Therefore, the first thing we look at is the floor plan. There needs to be good natural light, the correct shape, without sharp corners. If possible, we fix it, if not, we adjust as best we can. The second is the child's age. A children's room is always made "for growth" - time flies. Therefore, we try to do without Winnie the Poohs on the walls. panfilovaproject.comThe interior was created by Oksana Panfilova and Lyudmila KristalevaThe interior was created by Oksana Panfilova and Lyudmila KristalevaThe interior was created by Oksana Panfilova and Lyudmila Kristaleva

Standard "children's" set - bed, workcorner, storage space for toys and books, wardrobes. When filling the nursery with "basic" items, parents should remember the time "when the trees were big", and especially the rooms. In order not to put pressure on the child's psyche, they should be proportionate to his age and height. It is advisable to store things in the wardrobe, eventhe smallest, or in a built-in closet. If this is not possible, it is better to look for or order a low closet - 1 m 40 cm or a little higher. Based on the same logic, specialists in the organization of children's spaces recommend leaving massive sports bars wooden or painting them the same color as the walls, which have become fashionable to install in children's rooms.The interior was created by Oksana Panfilova and Lyudmila Kristaleva

Our opinion:

— The easiest way to save space —transformable furniture and furniture made to suit the specific needs of a particular room. A loft bed, for example, will help you move the sleeping area to the “second” floor and free up space below for a closet, shelves, additional play space or activities. Remember that the desk for writing and drawing should be located near the window, and the light should fall from the front or side: from left to right for a right-handed person and from right to left for a left-handed person.The interior was created by Oksana Panfilova and Lyudmila Kristaleva Tables and chairs can also be transformed.But the most ergonomic options in this case are usually obtained when the work corner is made to order. Then you can arrange cabinets and shelves for books of the modification your child needs on the side. The interior was created by Oksana Panfilova and Lyudmila Kristaleva

In addition to the main cabinets, it would be a good idea to providedrawers, chests, modules that can be transformed at will into a table for a teddy bear, a stand for a trainer, a car for Mulle Mek or a boat for Snusmumrik. It would be great if there was an opportunity to put a hut or a house there, hang a hammock or a basket for a ball, arrange a climbing wall or a drawing board. For your Little Prince or Princess, this is much more than just a room - a whole planet. The more possibilities it has, the better. Oksana Panfilova, interior designer:

— We have a principle:A child's room is a development environment for a child, where he spends a lot of time. Firstly, it should be practical, comfortable and inexpensive. It is important that the child can color the closet with markers, and the mother - not to faint. Secondly, it should be bright. Try asking the child to compose a room for himself - you will be surprised at the combinations of colors and textures that will appear. You should not be afraid of colors. You should be afraid of cooing. Steamboats, teddy bear chandeliers and the like. The child will quickly grow out of this and they will irritate him. panfilovaproject.com Oksana Panfilova and Lyudmila Kristaleva came up with such a bright and modern children's room for two boys in the program "Apartment Question" on NTV. The miraculous transformation was called "Metamorphoses".The interior was created by Oksana Panfilova and Lyudmila KristalevaThe interior was created by Oksana Panfilova and Lyudmila KristalevaThe interior was created by Oksana Panfilova and Lyudmila KristalevaThe interior was created by Oksana Panfilova and Lyudmila KristalevaThe interior was created by Oksana Panfilova and Lyudmila Kristaleva

Instead of Mickey Mouses and Malvinas, Oksana adviseshang a designer lamp, preferably one controlled by a remote control, use eye-catching modern furniture. Especially since there are now enough inexpensive replicas of famous items. Any child likes a bubble chair or an egg chair. Hollywood stylist and designer Rachel Zoe, for example, adheres to the same principles.Interior of the nursery in Rachel Zoe's houseInterior of the nursery in Jessica Simpson's house

If you are creating space for a newborn,It is worth getting by with minimal resources in terms of both furniture and decor. The child will soon grow up, and you will have to acquire “older” items. From 3-4 years old, you can already listen to the child himself. You should not impose your ideas about the ideal interior on him. Preschoolers are rarely fans of minimalism, girls - hi-tech, and boys - English classics. As a rule, heirs prefer something modern and bright, and heiresses - cozy and romantic. But this is not necessary. A universal space with elements of eclecticism suits the child best - children's tastes sometimes change faster than the seasons.

Remember that a child's brain perceives the world in a completely different way.not like ours. Where an adult has a ready-made model, a child has a free flight of fantasy. Hence the ability of a stick to turn into a horse, a skein of thread into a doll, and a pudding to meet girls. To develop your child's creative abilities and imagination, you need multifunctionality, not only practical, but also figurative: various combinations of textures and materials, a wealth of tactile and visual sensations. Detailing. How often does childhood return to us in precisely these small signs, snatched by memory from time, like "palm trees on the wallpaper", "Gagarin in a ballpoint pen", and caramel in a paper bag. Our opinion:

— Even the floors in the nursery can change masks.It is convenient to draw with chalk on dark wood covered with a strong anti-vandal varnish, it is worth putting a simple mat with markings - you can arrange races, and if you get bored - change it to a track with numbers and jump in hopscotch. In winter, in our climate, the floor in the nursery is best covered with some kind of covering. Choose one that allows machine washing, and be sure to check the certificates and permits for use in children's rooms. IKEA rugIKEA rug

Safety is a top priority for a child's room.Sockets should be covered with plugs, furniture should be chosen without sharp corners and preferably without overhead decor that your child can tear off and put in his mouth, it would be good to put limiters on windows and doors, and bumpers on a high bed. All lamps should be unbreakable. Even if the child cannot reach them with his hands, no one guarantees that he will not hit them with a ball. Oksana Panfilova, interior designer:

- The ideal child - the one that the kid likes,where he feels relaxed and not afraid to show his creative and physical abilities. I think that the main thing here is freedom. If it can be used for this space, then the room turned out good. panfilovaproject.com
